Why should you start a blog? The better question might be… why shouldn’t you? A blog is easy to setup, doesn’t cost a lot, and the potential is unlimited. But if that doesn’t convince you, here are 36 more reasons why you should start one.

It’s human nature to try and get other people interested in the things that we are interested in. And, since blogging has been so good to me, I can’t help but feel it is my duty to try and get everyone I know and everyone who reads my blog to start their own blog as well.

I mean, why not? You only live once, right?

And, it’s not like if you start a blog and it turns out to be something that isn’t for you, that you will have lost a significant amount of money or time in the process.

One of the biggest things that has helped me find success is the fact that I have studied and learned from other very successful people.

No, I have not had a mentor, nor have I had any one-on-one time with any significantly successful people. However, I have learned from some of the most successful people in the world through the thoughts, philosophies, and strategies that they have explained through the books, videos, and content they have created.

And, I honestly believe that if I can learn from these people, then so can anyone.

“You know what your problem is, it’s that you haven’t seen enough movies – all of life’s riddles are answered in the movies.”

Sometimes in movies, a character comes along and delivers such an amazing line that, despite the fact that they are a fictional character in a fictional story, really moves and inspires us.

And, while the line they deliver may or may not be something we can directly relate to, that doesn’t mean that the brilliance of that line cannot inspire us nonetheless.

So, when Rocky Balboa gives an inspirational speech, or Maximus Meridius is rallying his troops before battle, those amazing quotes do more than just make us want to get in the ring and fight someone, or lead the cavalry charge against a bunch of barbarians.

“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”

For anyone who spends time on internet marketing forums, or who follows some of the top internet marketing gurus, one common thing that is often brought up is the benefits that come from having a mentor.

A mentor is someone who has already traveled down the path you are walking and who can give you sound advice on how to best deal with obstacles that get in your way. A good mentor acts as a guide that will help you limit your mistakes and open your mind to new avenues and possibilities you wouldn’t have been able to see on your own.

Unfortunately, mentors are not widely available as the only people worthy of being mentors are few and far between. The path to great success in any field is difficult to travel and, as such, only a handful ever make it to the top.
